Also, they are by no means restricted to whatever they deliver, as they can always fix it in a software update, if someone can convince them to grawk's way of thinking.

Sammich. One of the daily specials from downstairs -- included hummus and guacamole/avacado. Boy was that sloppy.

Open Source still has requirements when using for commercial use, which is what this is.

I love that peeping cat .gif.

Yeah, that was my assumption -- that it didn't. I mean, they had to change the connector just for USB 3.0...

I really need to do my own cooking. But I'm hungry now -- Denny's, or Ihop?

That sounds like a killer combination.

Which segues into the question (I am going to try to find a phrase to replace "begs the question" every time I am tempted to use it, until I find one I like) -- what connector(s) are they using/going to use for 4k? I thought I saw the Sony was wireless...

Naan and sourdough?

Seriously. And I have a friend who contracted Lyme disease earlier in the year. I haven't seen any ticks, but they're always mentioned in the same breath as fleas, so have become totally paranoid.

February! I might even have some leave by then!

Musical Fidelity A3^CR + RCA->headphone adapter Also, ditch the HD800 if you like a warm sound. Go to HD650 at least. Someone else please feel free to step in here and correct me if I'm not remembering things correctly, as it's been years since I heard it, but HD800 is more in the "clinical" and "dry" end of the spectrum.

Thanks for the advice on mint and aloe, guys. I was talking with my ex, Julie, and I was asking her if there was such a thing as Frontline for humans, and she said, "it's called bug repellant". So I'm going to try some aloe and/or mint to see what I can repel. My cats will probably want to lick me if I have mint on, though, so I'm not sure that's better (other than the lack of fear of Lyme disease -- which is a big plus), so will probably try the aloe first. PS I love trains. I think it's really cool that you can go to completely different countries in Europe by trains, and have always wanted to do so.

Not bad, considering I pay for it myself and not an .edu, and it's $60/month with basic cable TV. Also: Woodbridge.

Probably not enough people were using eSata to justify keeping it in.

"When you came in the air went out..." "Bad Things", Jace Everett Yes, I've been watching True Blood. But I find myself returning to those opening lyrics, and when I try to recreate them in my head, I try to squeeze the word "room" in there somewhere, but ... IT'S NOT THERE...

Yeah, but I didn't see an HDCD logo...

The office itself is pretty safe...other than everyone else on the team has access to it. So even asking would require me to admit I don't trust everyone. But yeah, I'm tempted to ask after a locker or something, under the pretense of the monitor, as it would be perfectly normal for a geeky individual like me not to want anyone else using their monitor. They already had an argument right in front of me about one of them having a new enough laptop that Fred (making up the name just in case anyone sees this) hadn't gotten his fingerprints all over it yet, at which point Fred made a point to point at something on the screen. I do get my own office once I move back to Merrifield, but that's a few weeks/months away. And very very many late nights, working. I think the Cube will have to do for now. Cubes if I get them both working at the same time.

Yup, Windows, too. I was trying to revive my linux setup to see if that was the case there, too. There appear to be ways around it, but I haven't tried any of them yet. Now there's a thought (one way to get stereo out of both of them). That said, they do sound nice. I heard the Jabra Jambox in the store, and that wasn't bad neither.

Why do you need an AppleTV in the picture at all? They both have Netflix...

^ One of his best, probably his third best overall. Me: Karcius -- discovered this in the latest (American -- we're usually one behind Britain) issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog. EDIT: scratch that, now listening to The new Pineapple Thief (discovered while looking around for a tracklist for the compilation CD that came with that issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine for the name of that Karcius track).

No, that's alright, I just bought two of NuForce's Cubes (needed immediate satisfaction, and decided I like the form factor, plus the fact that it comes with its own carry case). And to answer my own question, yes, you can use them as separate channels, but the default action is to play both channels. You just have to go into sound settings -> pan and turn down one channel in each. Kind of a pain, but I'm alright with it, as it allows me to go 6db louder. And the fan on that server is really loud. Now I just need a stand to tilt it up a smidge. EDIT #2: Can't seem to figure out how to listen out of both at the same time.
